This assessment kit was developed by Integrate Ireland Language and Training (IILT) and is now available in post-primary schools. 

All sets within the kit begin at level A1 and continue to level B1. It is suggested that a student should begin with A1 and continue until he/she is unable to complete a test sheet. The teacher should avoid continuing with the test as soon as it becomes clear that the student is experiencing difficulty proceeding.
At a later stage, it is suggested that the language support teacher, with knowledge of a student’s abilities, may decide to begin the assessment at a higher level. For example, it would be appropriate to continue testing at the point at which a student ended on the previous occasion.
If for some reason a student’s proficiency has dropped in the interim, due to absence from school, return to his/her home country etc., it may be necessary to lower the starting point of the assessment. (from the Introduction to the Post-primary Assessment Kit)
